1.0 Introduction
The Service Call Procedures section is used to identify a suspected problem. This section contains Call Flow, Initial Actions, Corrective Actions, and Final Actions.
Call Flow illustrates the normal activities and flow of a service call.
Initial Actions are used to gather information regarding the performance of the machine and
prepare the product for servicing.
Corrective Actions are used to verify the normal operation of the machine. In the Y/N (Yes/No)
steps of the corrective actions, a Yes response will lead you to the next step . A No response will
indicate the next step to perform or will direct you to a Repair Analysis Procedure (RAP).
RAPs will provide the instructions to isolate the faulty part or provide a list of suspect parts,
when isolation is not appropriate. Wire harnesses are not included in the repair actions and
problems with loose connections or damaged harnesses should be isolated using visual
inspection and the wiring data in section 7.
Final Actions are used to evaluate the total operation of the system and to identify the actions
required to complete the service call.

Introduction
The Repair Analysis Procedures section is used to isolate and identify problems to a faulty
component or subassembly. It contains the Introduction, display message table, error code
table and the Repair Analysis Procedures (RAPs).
Measurements
Power and signal grounds are connected to frame ground, therefore all circuit troubleshooting
can be performed using the metal frame (chassis) as the grounding point. If more information is
needed to locate connectors or test points, refer to section 7.
Use the Display Messages and Error Codes tables when messages are displayed or error
codes are printed in a report.
The Repair Analysis Procedures (RAPs) are acce ssed from Sect ion 1, system checks or additional checks. There are two types of RAPs: Status Indicator (SI) RAPs, contained in this section, and Image Quality (IQ) RAPs, located in Section 3.
RAPs will normally isolate a problem to a specific component or s ubassembly, excluding the
wire harnesses.
In the Y/N (Yes/No) steps of the RAPs, a Yes/No response will either lead you to the next step
or will indicate a corrective action. When the indicated corrective action has been completed,
go to Section 1 and restart the System Check to verify that the problem has been corrected.
Unless otherwise specified, the following voltage tolerances are used within this section: Table

Introduction
This section contains image quality repair procedures to assist in correcting image quality
defects. These procedures provide defect samples, definitions and specifications to help identify the type of defect that exists, the test pattern to use, and actions required to c orrect the
defects.
Throughout these procedures, the term “vertical” refers to the process direction (the direction
paper travels through the printer); the term “horizontal” refers to the scanning direction (the
direction the laser beam scans across the page).
Be sure to check the paper tray to determine whether paper is being fed long edge or shor t
edge first. This determines “vertical” and “horizontal” for paper fed from that particular tray.
Cleaning procedures should always be performed before beginning any Print Quality Repair
procedure.
Be sure that the paper meets printer specifications. Changing the paper, or using paper from a
previously unopened ream, will resolve many print quality issues.
After resolving an image quality problem, return to Image Quality Checkout to verify that no
other image quality defects exist.
Sample reproductions of the various image quality patterns are included under Image Quality
Specifications.
Use the Image Quality RAPS to further diagnose machine problems.
In the Y/N (Yes/No) steps of the RAPs, a Yes response will lead you to the next step. A No
response will indicate a corrective action, or will direct you to another step. When the indicated
corrective action has been completed, go to Section 1 and restart the Initial Actions to verify
that the problem has been corrected.
Image Quality Defect Definitions
The System Controller Test Print is used to evaluate each of the print quality parameters. Each
area of the test pattern is us ed for a print quality parameter. The areas and the print quality
parameters are listed in Image Quality Checkout.

Image Quality Repair Analysis Procedures
Introduction, Image Quality Defect Definitions
Image Quality Checkout
The System Controller Test Print is used to evaluate and ensure that the printed image meets
the printer specifications.
Use new paper, whenever possible, to check the image quality of prints. Make five (5) prints of
the System Controller Tes t Print (Figure 1) (GP 6.1). Discard the first two prints and retain the
remaining prints for image quality analysis.
The Image quality Checkout is used to evaluate the following:
1.Resolution (2 places) (Figure 1)
2.Skips and Smears (4 places) (Figure 1)
3.Registration (1 place) (Figure 1)
4.Resolution and Uniformity (2 places) (Figure 1)
5.Solid Area Density (3 places) (Figure 1)
6.Half Tone Resolution (2 places). (Figure 1)
